Why they selected you
Your work on Ledgerline's design system is exactly the kind of systems thinking we need — we're at the point where our product has outgrown ad-hoc design decisions.

You'd have real authority over design direction, not just execution — we're hiring a lead, not a fourth designer. Our last design lead was promoted to VP of Product within two years.
